Antitrust laws have shaped the landscape of business and economics, aiming to maintain fair competition and protect consumers. This research paper investigates the historical origins of antitrust legislation, following its evolution from the Sherman Act to the modern-day cases like Activision and Xbox. Through examining key milestones and cases, we find the profound impact antitrust laws have had on business practices and consumer welfare.
